Underneath Seattle Freeways.

Washington State Fish and Wildlife Officers from the Cedar River Hatchery release a Female Chinook Salmon. This Weir, which is situated underneath the 405 freeway near Downtown Renton, traps a small percentage of the migrating Salmon on their way to spawning grounds further up the river. The trapped salmon are taken to the hatchery where eggs and semen are harvested.
